“Where’s The Beef?” Debuted on this Date, January 10th, 1984

“Where’s the beef?” Remember that catch-phrase?  It came from a Wendy’s TV ad campaign that aired for the first time on this date, January 10^th back in 1984. Who was the older lady who uttered those words? Clara Peller was her name. Sadly, she passed just a few years her popularity skyrocketed, on August 11, 1987.

Ever work fast food? Honestly it’s one of the best gigs to have as a kid in high school or college. Yes it can be hard work but you’re usually working with friends so its a social environment as well. I was young so it was a different time in my life but you’re at the cash register taking a girl’s order and forgetting what she wants because you’re distracted and checking her out at the same time. “Sorry what did you say?”

I totally miss the free meals and so do my old friends, I’m sure too, shhhhh.  After work you would punch out, you would go home and take a shower to get the grease off of you. Then it’s the mall or club depending on your age and what you like to do on a Saturday night.

I could tell you stories but when there's time to lean, there's time to clean. It’s almost show time. Got any fries to go with that shake?
